Diving owl

This is a juvenile burrowing owl I photographed few years ago in northern CA, hope you like it

shot with the 1DX 600II + 1.4XIII ISO 640 f/5.6 at 1/3200sec hand held processed with DPP4.8

Lovely light and pose. I love the slight head turn so we can get a look at the eye and big pupil. BG and detail look good. TFS

Nice pose on the bird. Great background. Don't usually see the dorsal view on flights shots of owls.

This image is over the top, Arash! The amazing light, wing position, tilt of the tail, focused eye all help to make this imaqe a winner. I'm surprised the 3200/sec didn't stop the action here. Those wings must have been moving mighty fast on this youngster.

thanks everyone, he was diving fast and I was quite lucky to capture him in this pose
